Thank you Adam for the picture:

It looks so pretty! Can't wait for it to get here!

Looking good Anks329!
You might want to save some of the trunk carpeting / underlay. Makes really nice mat to protect things when working on surfaces.
If that is still the rubber hose from the brake booster, you will want to keep that.

Thanks for the advice on the carpeting/underlay. I've got a whole lot of old blankets and such that I've been using. Good eye, but that's not the rubber hose from the brake booster. I took that out, and kept it safely somewhere. I just need to find where I kept it safely....

Or another Ebay search I guess...

Looks great! Pull the hoses before it gets sent...may be worth it to have DF do it since it is already powder coated.

Thanks! And already asked DF to pull the hoses. I'm all about hitting the balance between the cost of doing something versus the time/effort of doing it myself. One of the reasons why I'm buying a bunch of new parts instead of spending the effort to clean them up entirely.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Ditto. I bought many new parts myself for the same reason, plus I believe that having new parts will prevent some unnecessary breakdowns whne you don't want or need them.

I knew I was missing the magic tool that loosened all the nuts on your donor for the videos!

 

[Anks329]

So In my quest to clean out the garage, I seem to have lost the vacuum hose from the brake booster. Can someone tell me the diameter for the hose? I’m assuming any vacuum hose the right size from eBay would work?

 

[JeffsGoblin]

Are you referring to this hose from the donor mentioned in video 17? If yes, I can send you a 2 inch piece needed to attached the nylon hose.

That would be awesome! Is this the only time the original vacuum hose is needed?

You need that 2" piece and you will need another piece to connect to the intake manifold ( the 6" piece he cut off first)

Great, so a total of like 8 inches, 2 inches to the brake booster and 6 inches to intake.

 

[Yustas]

6 inches should be curved, you might need it to be longer for your engine.
I see booster/vaccuum hose attached to your engine - out from the middle of intake manifold next to oil filter.

Shell is finally gone!

And here is a fun little video of the car getting tossed around at the yard (special thanks to @Jcas):

Getting ready to work on the wiring harness and waiting for the frame to show up.

 

[JBINTX]

Dang!!!! That operator seemed to really have it in for that shell!!!

Hello did you get your Goblin yet it looks nice.

It should have been picked up the other day and delivery should be on Sunday. Need to confirm with the shipper

 

[Zoom Zoom]

Send pictures of it unloading if you will. I hope they package it great because mine is powder coated also.
Thank you, I like your color
